Part of the strategy of a terror state, is to have people fill in the blanks themselves. That way they can never know whether "let's have some tea", "let's go for a walk", or "have you looked out the window" are actual death threats or not, keeping everyone in a constant state of paranoia, that makes them try extra hard to not displease the dictator.
